Considering investing in a pair of Louboutin Pigalles? Read on.....
- Details of Investment
Since the 1990s, the trademark of glossy red soles (which was accidentally discovered by the creator painting the back of a pair with red Chanel nail polish) found on a pair of Christian Louboutins has become an iconic fashion item.
The low cut shape of black patent Pigalles exposes more of the foot and leg to make its owner look sexier, more beautiful and make me (a tiny 5 foot Asian) appear to have long Gisele Bunchen legs.

- Financial Cost
I managed to purchase mine online from net-a-porter.com which set me back USD500. Other websites such as brownsfashion.com charge USD600, saksfifthavenue.com cost USD595 and on eBay, you are looking at between USD300 to USD800 (all prices excluding shipping). In Australia, Sydney from DJs you will be expected to pay approx USD1000.
The upkeep fee for any Louboutins will be the cost of maintaining or repairing its soles which varies depending on the shoe repairer. Bear in mind, these are Louboutins so you should take them to a good shoe repairer. In Sydney, I pay USD50 at a shoe repairer at the Strand Arcade. But if you are fortunate enough to be located in Paris, they specify you and your much loved Louboutins should pay a visit to ‘Minuit Moins 7 Cordonneire’. Anyone been there?
- Valuation & Returns of investment
Judging by the number of imitation websites there are for Louboutins ‘wannabes’ and that Kate Moss owns a few, you are definitely investing in a blue chip fashion item. The joys that the Louboutin Pigalles can bring you are endless, you will feel and look hot, sexy and dangerous and loved by all...need I say more? Pigalles definitely provide a 100% return of satisfaction....
- Risk Factors
Walking with 5 inch Pigalles is not the most comfortable & easiest thing unless you are Kate Moss who can glide through the uneven pavement @ McQueen’s funeral or Victoria Beckham who runs her errands in them like they were sneakers…. I found that the 5 inch Pigalle is so high that at times I have lost my balance but to date have never fallen flat on my face. I walk 1.5km between two offices daily and normally it takes me 10 minutes on flats. With my beloved 5 inch Pigalles, it takes 30 - 40 minutes. Also as the Pigalles are quite pointy, it could lead to many later years of bunion suffering.
Note that Pigalles have now diversified into being flats (have you seen the spiky studded ones currently out? Absolutely delicious….. But not sure about not being able to see the red of the sole of flat Louboutins… does that defeat the trademark of Louboutins?) There are also more manageable 3 & 4 inch heel versions in various materials and colours which I highly recommend. I recently bought a pair of 3 inch dark red glittered ones for my brother’s wedding last year and I lasted for more than 8 hours without any pain.
- Overall Rating
Invest right now!!!! What's not to love? Yes it takes longer to walk to & fro places but it's all about mastering the skill to walk in them like a lady.... If Victoria can carry her kids wearing them and Dita can perform her fabulous burlesque routine who's to say you can't? Pigalles will give you many years of high dividend income return that would leave you nothing but satisfied.
